“So we get a lot of advice, we ask them questions, that’s how we research.” “As a global company, the e from all over the world,” says Jung.

Though they’re not ready to unveil any of those areas yet, they say they’ll be widely international, getting out of the European rut that is well trodden in similar games. But Jung explains that other parts of Pywel will draw on other real-life geography. The area shown in the trailer is the north, and yes, it’s very much inspired by Scotland. They were able to tell us that there’ll be more variety to the world than this Gaelic corner. “We are confident that customisation can easily blend within the storyline.of course, the customisation system will be matched to the Black Desert level.” But they’re not ready to discuss exactly how it will fit within the game. Of course, Black Desert Online is perhaps best known (at least in the West) for its incredibly in-depth character creation, and Jung did confirm that would play a part in Crimson Desert, too. “We cannot answer, ‘am I Macduff, or am I ,’” says Jung. Though Macduff was referred to as the “main character,” with other factions and characters playing into his personal story, Pearl Abyss remain cagey about exactly what role he takes when it comes to gameplay. Who exactly you’ll be playing as is also still somewhat behind the curtain. “We are still working on some things, there are some undecided factors,” Jung explains during our interview. No word yet on whether single-player aficionados will find enough to sustain them without needing to venture into the frightening world of other people, or how the story will tie together between the two elements. He also confirmed (via a question by VG247’s Lauren Aitken in our joint interview) that MMO staples like raids and dungeons will show up, requiring cooperation between players. PvE is currently the game’s focus, though, says Jung. Its combat, in particular, will apparently feel familiar to BDO players, with NPC enemies both human and beastial, and PvP elements. You know, video game protagonist stuff.īut Crimson Desert will also include “various content at high levels expected of an.MMORPG,” Jung tells the crowd during the presentation. Macduff is trying to get by in the mean continent of Pywel, leading a band of fighters, haunted by his tragic past. Its lore connection isn’t the only thing that remains indistinct on the horizon, but I spoke with lead producer Jason Jung to get a better look after the game’s announcement at G Star in Korea.Īfter showing off a first look at the game’s Scottish-inspired, Witcher-reminiscent trailer, Jung explained that the RPG’s single player campaign will focus on the scruffy mercenary introduced within: Macduff. Since then, though, it’s shimmered, mirage-like, into its own IP, still linked to the preexisting world, but more nebulously.

Instead of simply building up BDO further, these new offices “will be responsible for bringing upcoming in-house developed games.” Specifically, the offices will be handling the rollouts for Crimson Desert, DokeV, and Plan 8.Pearl Abyss’s recently announced single- and multiplayer blended RPG Crimson Desert started life as a prequel to their similarly named MMO Black Desert Online. Pearl Abyss has been enjoying the success of Black Desert Online but that doesn’t mean that the company was looking to emulate Riot Games by having just one successful game that it exclusively worked on for a decade. Black Desert Online developer has 3 new games coming While Pearl Abyss is undoubtedly focused on making Black Desert Online even bigger, the move is likely motivated by the other titles the developer has in the works. The game received Xbox One and PlayStation 4 releases at different points in 2019 and by the end of 2020, Pearl Abyss stated that BDO had reached over 40 million players and $1.7 billion in revenue. Despite garnering generally positive reviews, the game failed to gain any serious traction in western markets until 2018, adding players rapidly from there. Black Desert Online launched in 2015 but didn’t receive a launch in Europe and North America until a year later.
